Prediction: 3-1

Stade Rennes

Buoyed by a splendid 4-0 win over Saint-Etienne, Monaco take on Rennes at their Stade Louis II on Matchday 19. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to stay in the race for the Ligue 1 title and we predict they will leave their leave hearts on the field in their last league fixture of the year. Monaco are eyeing their fourth straight win in the national championship and we believe that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration. A man to watch in the home team will be Colombian attacker, who has netted 14 goals in the French elite division so far this term. Rennes failed to shock star-studded PSG at the weekend (1-4) and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Monaco’s party at Stade Louis II. It has to be noted that Rennes will be without midfielder Andre, who was sent off in the 4-1 loss to les Parisiens.

Highlighted Player (Joao Moutinho):

A versatile midfielder who can operate as a defensive or attacking midfielder, as well as on either flank, Moutinho is a Portugal international playing for AS Monaco. The experienced 30-year-old footballer started his career with Sporting, but moved to great rivals Porto in 2010. Having won 12 major titles between the two clubs combined, Moutinho moved to Monaco in 2013. A full Portugal international at the age of 18, Moutinho is a regular call-up since the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The 30-year-old was a part of Portugal’s historic success in France this summer when Fernando Santos men lifted their first-ever continental trophy. Despite being a first-team regular with his club AS Monaco, Moutinho has been regularly linked with a move to Serie A and was reportedly offered to Napoli and AC Milan during the summer of 2016. AS Roma have also expressed their interest in signing the versatile midfielder, but Monaco opted to stay with the club and help Monaco with their UEFA Champions League challenge.
